My dwarves have apparently stopped hauling wood.

I have, looking at my stocks and the barren, clear-cut fields of my embark zone, 133 logs in my fortress.

I also have 0 in a stockpile, as they are all outside, lying where they were felled.

My stockpile near my carpentry workshops accept wood and only wood, and are empty.

I have about 10 idlers, many of which have wood hauling enabled (some are children or nobles), INCLUDING the woodcutters (who don't need to chop more wood, they just need to haul it back in).

Yet, my carpenters have to march all the way out of the fortress, into the open exposed fields to drag back each individual log.

My carpenters are now complaining of "a lack of work" because I'm not letting them go commit tree genocide (suck it, elves!) for what appears to be the pure sport of chopping down trees, because they obviously aren't interested in the whole "help the fortress survive" aspect of this.

Anyone have a clue what's going wrong, here?  I know they're allowed outside (I mean, they were just chopping those trees down, they just adamantly refuse to take them back to the fortress).  If I can't figure this out, "plan B" is saying "screw it!" and making all my barrels out of iron from now on, but I'd like to know what's going on, here.

Check your standing (o)rders menu and make sure that wood hauling is enabled.

Well, what do you know?  I completely forgot that existed, what with my thinking that there was no reason to ever press that button.
